Why I Love The Travel Community

May 5, 2021 by Dylan B. RainesLeave a Comment

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” - Mark Twain The world is full of people who travel extensively. They may be travel bloggers who create content from the places they visit, a group of friends embracing upon a long-distance cycling journey, the Rick Steves touring type, or adventurers of all sorts who move around Planet Earth to discover the wonders that exist in this place. Personally, I have traveled most of … [Read more...]

Can You Travel with CBD Oil? Products Worth Considering

April 3, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

CBD oil has become an ever-present part of our lives. We can put it in our coffee, our baths, or carry it around in bags as a lotion. We can even buy CBD treats for our pets. Still, no matter how present it is, many people don’t know much about its legalities and rules. There is a lot of misinformation going around about CBD and its legal aspects, and a lot of that stems from unclear regulations. If you’re planning on traveling and taking … [Read more...]

The Wonderful World of Travel: A Tale of the Pandemic

December 15, 2020 by S. Nadja ZajdmanLeave a Comment

Through a neighbourhood travel agent, in December 2019 I booked a tour of northern Italy, scheduled for May 2020. I also bought an expensive and comprehensive insurance policy that would allow me to cancel FOR ANY REASON. I stumbled upon this agent’s office in a local mall during the late winter of 2019. I told her that I was alone and on a limited budget. She told me there was a tour company that catered to solo travelers, and ordered their … [Read more...]

Why do I Travel Solo?

December 1, 2020 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

When I tell people I am going on a long solo trip, often eyebrows are raised followed by a barrage of questions such as: 'are you out of your mind?' - 'what are you going to do being alone in a foreign country?' - 'won’t you feel lonely?' - 'are you sure it is going to be safe for you?' and 'isn’t it weird doing things alone all the time?” The questions persist and at times I feel like in a military video game on the defensive - holding a bullet … [Read more...]
